You are wearing a pair of cargo pants with six pockets. You've put $10 in one of the pockets, but you cannot remember which one.

After checking two pockets without success, what is the probability that the money will be in the next pocket you check?

There are 6 pockets all together.  You checked two of them and it wasn't
there.  So you can forget about those 2, and now there are 4 pockets left.

The total number of ways for your next try is 4.
The number that will be successful is 1.

The probability of success on the next one is  <em>1/4  =  25% .</em>

=======================================================

Another method of solution, somewhat more complex:

Total number of pockets = 6.
Amount of money missing = $10
First partial sum, i.e. sum of numbers
 in the first part of the problem = 6 + 10  =  16.

Total number of pockets  =  6
Current value of cargo pants on a fashion scale from 1 to 10  =  -2.
Second partial sum =  6 - 2  =  4.

  Probability = (second partial sum) / (first partial sum) = 4/16  =  <em>25% </em>.

Circle C has diameter AB. The coordinates of A are (5,1) and the coordinates of C are (6,10). Find the coordinates of B.
stich3 [128]

Answer:

(7, 19)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that we are talking about circle C, which means that the center is point C. Since the diameter is AB, that means that AB goes through the center C and that center C is the midpoint of the segment AB.

Say the coordinates of B are (x, y). We can use the Midpoint Theorem to figure out B. The Midpoint Theorem states that for two points (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2), the coordinates of the midpoint are: (\frac{x_1+x_2}{2} ,\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} ).

Here, our two points are A(5, 1) and B(x, y). Then, the midpoint is: (\frac{5+x}{2} ,\frac{1+y}{2} ). We already know the midpoint is C(6, 10), so we can just set 6 equal to \frac{5+x}{2} and set 10 equal to \frac{1+y}{2}:

6 = \frac{5+x}{2}  ⇒  12 = 5 + x  ⇒  x = 12 - 5 = 7

AND

10 = \frac{1+y}{2}  ⇒  20 = 1 + y  ⇒  y = 20 - 1 = 19

So, the coordinates of B is: (7, 19).

Hope this helps!
